Been reading about tuing the xe12 on German websites, and the inlet manifold and ecu mods give 20-25 bhp with a decent filter, or modded airbox. Std engine makes about 80 bhp for black top type and 70 for silver top, factory quotes were about 5 bhp less for each. | |

quote: I have no steering wheel OR seats :lol: you 'could' fit a head of a nova 1.3sr, set or twin-40's & go from there, but the work in doing this would take some time & cost a bit as its not really often done. Would be different, but you wouldnt really get that much of an increase in power, maybe 20bhp max... mind you could do more, the choice is up to you! tbh 180 for a X12XE is pretty good price, plus there a bit more tuneable! 100bhp+ can be had from these | |

quote: cud always be different and make it a multipoint injection engine;) all the engine people on here wud have an idea on how to do it:) or cud get sum custom throttle bodies made:) witha acam ur only likely to see about 2bhp but it shud pull a bit better thru either mid-range or top end due to the different profiles on the cam the exhaust system your lucky to get about 3bhp on the 1.2 8v and the drilled airbox will give ya between 1-2bhp:) so ya gunna be looking at less then 55bhp for them mods so ya mite aswell get a 1.0 12v 3cylinder engine coz itss gunna be less £-bhp:thumbs: | |

U lot always say this, but i am not doing a conversion and never will, all i want to do is put the cam in to get a bit more power out of it. | |
